Fast shipping is a standout feature, with many noting that their orders arrived quickly, often the next day, which contributed to a seamless purchasing experience. The efficiency of the order processing is highlighted, with customers appreciating smooth transactions and effective communication throughout. The quality of products consistently meets expectations, with remarks on excellent materials and well-packaged deliveries enhancing overall satisfaction.
I decided on the cap model since the one I picked clearly stated size: S/M on the website and when it arrived, the product label says one size. If I had known, I would have chosen another model, as I opted for this one because of the size.

Several months of waiting, when delivered not the right color and therefore all the inconvenience of returning the wrong board and the time lost in various contacts, then again several months of waiting... I ask for a commercial gesture and when the right board arrives, a low-quality pad received as compensation... While I had requested a transport cover and other accessories and stickers. Frankly, it is a lack of consideration for the customer!! (I remain polite but do not think otherwise) I absolutely do not recommend this company

Response from Mundo-Surf
Hello Xavier,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, even though we are sincerely sorry to read about your experience.
Indeed, there was a color error at the factory on your surfboard. As soon as we noticed it, we immediately restarted the production to deliver you the right board as soon as possible. We fully understand the frustration this may have caused, especially with the delays and exchanges involved.
Regarding the commercial gesture, the pad (grip) sent as compensation is a model from recognized and high-end brands like FCS or Channel Islands, used by many surfers for their quality and reliability. We are sorry if this did not meet your specific expectations (cover, accessories, stickers), it was not our intention to disappoint you.
At mundo-surf.com, we place great importance on customer satisfaction, especially for orders of technical surf equipment like boards. In your case, we did our best to quickly correct the error and finalize the delivery under good conditions.
We understand your dissatisfaction, but we also find your rating a bit harsh considering the solutions provided and the material ultimately received.
In any case, we remain at your disposal if you wish to discuss directly to clarify certain points or find an additional solution.
Sportingly

Waiting for them to send me resin in good condition, they are giving me trouble for a simple kg that is yellow and does not remain transparent.
Translated reviews
Response from Mundo-Surf
Hello Jose,
As we have explained to you by email, the slightly yellowish or greenish tint of the H72-UV resin in liquid state is completely normal. This type of resin is not completely transparent until it hardens, at which point it becomes fully transparent.
This is a usual behavior of the product and does not indicate that it is in bad condition.

I can only advise against buying from this store. I was cheated there twice. The first time I wanted to buy funboard fins. The picture and description showed short, round fins. However, long, pointed fins were delivered. When I complained about it, I only received the response: "You got your fins. If you don't like them, send them back at your own expense." That cost me 20 € in shipping to Spain. The second time I bought a Bodyboard Pride Spartan "46". According to the description, it was supposed to have a Surlyn bottom slick, but it was actually built with only an HDPE slick. After I raised this issue, I had to wait ten days until the shop supposedly clarified everything with the manufacturer – that would have been fine. After that, I was offered either a 20% discount or a refund. I chose the refund. Then there were two alleged pickup dates with GLS, but no one showed up. The customer service manager Sebastian apparently didn't create any order with GLS, but just pretended to. I then requested a return label, as the package can also be dropped off at the parcel shop. I received several emails with the text "We are sending you a return label," but without an attachment. After that, it was only said that they were working on creating one. Finally, I sent the goods back myself at my own expense after four weeks. Very bad experience with this shop. Conclusion: If you want to receive something that does not match the description and then have to send it back at your own expense, then this store is perfect for you.

Response from Mundo-Surf
Hello Sambor, we are sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations.
Regarding the second case, we would like to clarify that there was indeed an error in the product description of the bodyboard. Size 46 does not have a Surlyn slick, as according to the manufacturer, no Surlyn slicks can be produced in this size. This issue only affects size 46.
As soon as we learned about it, we promptly offered you a solution: either a discount so you can keep the board, or a refund. You chose the refund.
We then organized a pickup, which could not be carried out for reasons beyond our control. Nevertheless, as soon as the product arrived back with us, we refunded the full amount.
We regret the inconvenience caused and take your feedback seriously to further improve our service.

I placed an order for polyester resin to repair a surfboard, the order arrived defective, with the product dry. They did not take responsibility for exchanges or returns. They said to file a complaint with consumer services if I disagreed.
Translated reviews
Response from Mundo-Surf
Hello Tomas, we are very sorry for the experience you had with your order.
As we explained to you by email, the polyester resin order was delivered to your home on 11/11/25. Since it is a sensitive chemical product, we cannot guarantee or confirm the storage and preservation conditions during the two months it has been under your custody.
For this reason, we cannot accept the return or replacement of the product. We understand that this may be frustrating, and we regret that we cannot offer another solution on this occasion.
At Mundo Surf, we always seek the satisfaction of our customers, and we hope to assist you with future orders with products that meet all your expectations.

Hello Georgina.
We sincerely regret that your experience has not been satisfactory and we are sorry that the product did not meet your expectations.
We want to clarify that both the material and the color of the item are correctly indicated on the product sheet on our website. In the specific case of the black color, the shade may vary slightly depending on the light and the device from which the images are viewed, something common in product photography.
In no case is it our style or our way of working to say 'that's what it is.' What we did was offer you, in the clearest and most correct way possible, the option to make the return, explaining the procedure according to our return policy, which applies equally to all customers.
We are sorry if the product has not been to your liking and we apologize for the inconvenience caused. We hope that the information has been clear and that the situation is correctly resolved.
Best regards.

Hello Bernardo,
Thank you for sharing your opinion. We regret that your experience with the UV polyester resin has not been as expected.
We want to inform you that this type of resin hardens when exposed to UV rays. Even if it is in the shade, UV rays are still present and can cause the resin to harden in about a minute.
If you need more information or would like us to help you find the best solution, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be happy to assist you.

The product arrived late, there were 2 failed deliveries at home when there were people at home both times, then on the third attempt the iron arrived with a huge hole, I mentioned it to customer service who reacted quickly, but the same model was no longer available, I chose another very similar one, which had a difference of 16 euros, which I had to pay, I told customer service not to charge the difference, which is very small and would be an elegant gesture after a very bad shopping experience! The advice was not accepted, personally the 16 euros mean absolutely nothing to me, but it would have changed the shopping experience!

Response from Mundo-Surf
Hello Jose and thank you for your order. We can see that indeed there were two unsuccessful delivery attempts and yes, the third one succeeded.
Regarding the complaint, it was handled on the same day of the complaint and the problem was resolved very quickly by both parties, we hope everything has been resolved.
Regarding the price difference of 15€ for the model change, we could not absorb it since being such an economical bodyboard means that those 15€ are almost our profit margin.
We hope you understand.

Hello Ivan,
Thank you for sharing your opinion. We completely understand your point of view, but we want to explain that offering free returns is not economically viable for us, especially in the surf sector, where products are bulky and logistics costs are very high.
Nevertheless, we have designed a very flexible return policy that we believe meets our customers' needs:
- 100 days to return any product.
- Full refund of the amount paid within the first 14 days from the receipt of the order.
Our goal is always for you to be satisfied with your purchase, and for that reason, we try to find a balance between sustainability, economic viability, and customer service.
Thank you again for your comment, it helps us to keep improving.

Hello Manuel and thank you for your order.
The payment method selected in your order is "surf first and pay later". This is a payment method where payment is made 7 days after placing the order.
Sequra sent you an email notification to process the payment on the due date but you did not make it. So by not making the payment, Sequra adds a commission for non-payment.
Also please note that this does not depend on us but Sequra is in charge of processing the collections.
